Product Description

The Blue Works Industrial Grade Silicone Lubricant spray contains 11 oz. of lubricant that can be applied to metal, rubber, and wood surfaces to add a protective, waterproof, and low-friction coating. The industrial-grade formula resists high temperatures and pressure, and does not attract contaminants. Commonly used on pulleys, valves, hinges, and locks, the lubricant also acts as a release agent to facilitate the removal of molded parts. The aerosol can includes a nozzle that produces a cone-shaped spray for application over large areas.Industrial lubricants can be found in most machinery performing one or more functions, including reducing friction and wear, preventing components from adhering to each other, distributing loads more evenly, dispersing heat away from moving parts, and preventing corrosion. Although many materials are used as lubricants, the most common are oil (also called fluid lubricants) and grease because of their versatility. Oil lubricants contain either a petroleum or synthetic base, the properties of which are modified by the addition of various additives. Grease lubricants, a mixture of oil lubricant and a thickening agent, have a thicker consistency than oil, enabling use wherever liquids cannot be retained and requiring less frequent changes. WD-40 manufactures lubricants, as well as household and industrial cleaners, and is headquartered in San Diego, CA.
